quote from the Orange Judd Farmer in

Thia crop in the United Statea ia smal
ler than it hae been since reliable sta-
tietice have been collected. The total
supply from the 1898 crop at the Unit
ed States ie *7,000,000 barrels, as eon-
pared with aomething over 40,000,000
barrels last ysar and 70,000,000 in th«
reooid-bieaking crop of 1896. The fail-
are is widespread, reaching from th»
Pacific eoast to Maine, and in none at
the statea don the output of fruit ap-
proach an average. (Thia ie not true,
however, where the crop ie not a fail
ure). In the great apple etatee of the
Centre! Weet the crop ie almoet a total
failure, although the situation in Mioh-
igamia better than elosewhere, having
about two-tbirde of the bumper orope
of 1896. New York has only one-fifth
of a full crop. The failure is attributed
to the fact that during the blooming
leaaon there was an exoenive rainfall,
which washed out the pollen and pre
vented proper fertiliaation by insects,
while a cold wave added to the injury,
and eubeequent moist, humid weather
waa veiy favorable to the development
of fungus diseases. The Ontario crop
ia decidedly abort. The crop of Europe
ia reported below the normal.
Idaho'« Mlaoral Output.
The mines of Idaho have shared the
general* prosperity of the state. In

strikea were made during the year just

The state’s mineral production for 1898
is *1,659,570 more than it waa last
yegr, and *8,663,610 more than in
1896. J. W. Cunningham, superin
